Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Heritability scores between 0 and 1 indicate that both genetics and environmental factors contribute to a trait. A score of 0 would indicate that the trait is entirely due to environmental factors, while a score of 1 would indicate that the trait is entirely due to genetics. Therefore, a heritability score greater than 0 but less than 1 suggests that genetics and the environment both play a role in producing the trait.
